Of course, a perfect diet won’t always stop you from catching a cold or coming down with a flu, but you will suffer less, and bounce back more quickly from illness.

The rainbow spectrum

Different fruits and veggies are rich in different Vitamins, minerals and fiber.

So, aim for a variety, and pick your vegetables and fruits across the rainbow spectrum.

Eat at least five servings per day of fruits and vegetables, consisting of two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables.

The Juicy fact

Fresh fruit or vegetable juice is a fantastic way to get your nutrients in a glass. But, remember juice has more calories and less fiber than eating the whole fruit or vegetable. Keep this in mind, especially if you want to cut back on calories.

Combat disease

The plant kingdom is filled with nutrients that help prevent and fight disease. Awareness of their nutritional content can help combat illness.
